    I have never heard the phrase 'false friends' used to describe words that have different definitions in other languages.

    It's really quite common. Perhaps only among people who have lived or worked in places where multiple languages are in use. The three listed are also false friends in several other languages including French, Italian, even German (for aktuelle, at least).

    You're not the odd one out. The L in "calm" isn't silent. Never heard anyone say it "caaam".

    How should I know a Spanish false friend?!? Also, can't "fork" have the metaphorical meaning of facing two (or more) decisions/ways??
